Default Sprite rear panel

I'd like some advice on the best way to proceed with the straightening of this panel. It was completely smooshed in two places just to the inside of the tail lights. I've gotten it to this stage, with a combination of wheeling (where I could) and heat shrinking. I think the metal is tired of this abuse, and the reverses and outside flanges are complicating things for me. I have thought about flattening the flanges, then putting them back when I'm satisfied with the shape. I'm also considering a handheld planishing hammer, or handheld wheel.
Thanks in advance!
